How Workers' Compensation Works in California
California’s workers’ compensation system provides benefits for employees injured or made ill on the job, regardless of fault. Workers are entitled to essential benefits that help cover medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation, allowing them to recover without worrying about how they will pay their bills.
If you are injured while working in Brentwood, you may be entitled to benefits, including:
- Medical Treatment: Full coverage for necessary medical care, such as surgeries, medications, and rehabilitation services.
- Temporary Disability Benefits: Wage replacement for the time you are unable to work while recovering from your injury.
- Permanent Disability Benefits: Compensation if you suffer a lasting or permanent impairment due to your injury.
- Job Retraining Assistance: Vouchers for retraining if you’re unable to return to your previous position due to your injury.
- Death Benefits: Support for the families of workers who pass away due to a workplace accident or illness.
Common Work-Related Injuries Covered
California workers’ compensation covers a broad range of injuries and illnesses. Whether your injury results from a sudden accident or develops over time, you are entitled to benefits. Some of the most common injuries we handle include:
- Traumatic Injuries: Accidents like slips, trips, falls, and machinery incidents that result in broken bones, back injuries, and cuts.
- Repetitive Motion Injuries: Conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or tendinitis that develop from repetitive work tasks.
- Occupational Illnesses: Health conditions caused by workplace exposure to hazardous environments, such as respiratory issues, skin conditions, or hearing loss.
- Mental Health Conditions: Stress-related disorders, such as PTSD or anxiety, due to workplace trauma or harassment.
- Pre-Existing Condition Aggravation: If your job worsens a pre-existing condition, you may still be eligible for compensation.
Workers' Compensation or Personal Injury Lawsuit?
In most cases, workers' compensation is the exclusive legal remedy for workplace injuries. However, if a third party (someone other than your employer) is responsible for your injury, such as a contractor, negligent driver, or defective product, you may have grounds to file a personal injury lawsuit for additional compensation.
In these situations, you may be able to recover damages beyond workers' comp, including compensation for pain and suffering. At Pacific Workers', The Lawyers for Injured Workers, we handle both workers' comp and personal injury claims, ensuring you explore all legal options to maximize your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions for Brentwood Workers
Am I Eligible for Workers' Compensation?
Most employees in California, whether full-time, part-time, seasonal, or temporary, are eligible for workers' compensation if injured on the job. Independent contractors are generally not covered, but exceptions may apply in certain situations.
How Long Does Workers' Compensation Last?
Temporary disability benefits are available for up to 104 weeks within a five-year period. If you suffer a permanent disability, benefits may extend for a longer period, or you could be entitled to lifetime support.
How Soon Do I Need to File a Claim?
You must report your injury to your employer within 30 days of the incident and file your workers’ compensation claim within one year. Missing these deadlines may jeopardize your claim.
What Happens if My Workers' Comp Claim Is Denied?
If your claim is denied, you can appeal the decision. We represent clients through the appeals process, ensuring your case is properly presented to the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board. Our team will help gather evidence, submit paperwork, and represent you at hearings to fight for the benefits you deserve.
What Is My Workers' Comp Case Worth?
The value of your case depends on the severity of your injury, the time missed from work, and whether you suffer temporary or permanent disabilities. We can assess your claim and help estimate the potential compensation you're entitled to receive.
